I posted in another thread about wind noise, but I wanted to start a new thread rather than fully hijack. I have an aftermarket PGW windshield installed by the PO. I have wind "rushing" noise at high speeds or if the wind blows at high speeds. It's loud enough I have to crank the music up to try...
My 72' Fj40 oem hardtop finally had enough when a heavy tree branch left a big crack in the fiberglass. Looking for a good used oem replacement preferably local pickup, maybe shipped if its not too much of a pain.
Seems like some bolts thread into the rain gutter and some use nuts. Mine were all rusty and mismatched.
What sizes and thread pitches should these be?
Also, how do I remove the blue painted pieces from the old top in pic #2?
Attached some pics of my progress just for fun ;) thanks!

Looking for some install-type "ahhhh-ha" moments anyone may have had whilst installing a used, but functional, FR Slimline2 rack using the the taller Gamiviti 45deg. gutter mounts. I do not want to remove the factory bits because I...
I recently bought a new reproduction fiberglass top for my FJ40. What all do I need in order to assemble and install it? (Rain gutters/weatherstrip etc) and where should I buy?
And does anyone know a good tutorial or instruction on painting and installing the fiberglass top?
All help is...
I have a hard top that has a mostly rusted out gutter (sections are good but a lot is total rust). Liner was a custom one. The stripes you will see in pics are where the former owner had taped black tape to make it look like a tiger or something. For a good glasser, it could be cut and...
I am wanting to restore the top of my 1980 FJ40. CCOT is the only place that I have found sells the rain gutter. I may be able to salvage 50% or more of what I got so I wanted to see availability of the pieces.
Thanks

Hey all,
Re-sealing the rain gutters on my 60 series this weekend. I've already used a heat gun/chisel/picks to get the old sealant out, and coated the gutters with primer and paint. I tried unsucessfully to use 3M 5200 on them but it turned into a goopy mess, so I'm starting over.
I was...
Hi,

Dear Mudders,
I'm trying to price a used Thule 300 raingutter roof rack with load bars.
Does anyone have a set for pair sale or know of a good place to look other than ebay?
Thanks for your help.

Hey guys,
I'm starting to redo my top, and I need a new rain gutter. I know this topic has been exercised before on which gutter is the best, etc... When I bought my cruiser, it had a soft top on it, and the hard top was in pieces. The rain gutter was missing. So, after doing a lot of research...
